Show and Tell 8/1/18

A place to show and tell the latest and greatest from YouTube and Social Media. Here are a few to kick things off:

My favorite thing about MULHOLLAND DRIVE is that Lynch shot about 1/2 of it as a pilot for ABC and they were like "What? Absolutely not" and Lynch was all like "OK, fuck you guys", added another hour to it and got nominated for a Best Director Oscar. That will never not be funny.

Many many years ago I was traveling through South Africa. I was young, eager to see the world, eager to document, to photograph, to write about it. I remember sitting in the back of a taxi, window rolled down just six inches, taking a photo of a fast food restaurant sign. I thought, how bizarre it is to see the same sign all over the world. I couldn’t wait to capture it. Suddenly, a man ran up to my window. He began yelling at me, telling me I took his soul. I was shocked, totally confused. He wanted to see my camera. I told him I didn’t mean to take a picture of him, he must’ve been in the background. It was an accident I promised. I quickly deleted the photo. This was the first lesson I learned about basic human boundaries as it relates to cultural differences, and being mindful of other people’s personal space. I often think about that man as I watch this new digital age unfold, everyone with an iPhone, no one respecting those basic human boundaries that were once so easy to make clear. We now believe that our phone gives us the right to document anything and anyone, and this insatiable desire to capture more and more for instagram stories only fuels our snap happy fingers. We do it without thinking. We do it because we’re addicted. We do it to stay relevant. We do it to show the world who we are, to have purpose. We do it innocently, but that innocence is no excuse for our lack of consciousness. And as we snap snap snap, we are not only robbing the souls of those who don’t consent, but we’re robbing ourselves of the time we could be spending looking up. Look up guys. Time and privacy will be the greatest treasures in your scrapbook in 40 years...
